Please confirm that (1) you've copied all DBX files in the backup set,
including Folders.dbx, from the (external) drive to a folder on the HDD of the partition running OE where you want to import the data and that (2) you've pointed the import wizard to this folder. Also please tell us the size of each of the following DBX files in the backup set: Inbox.dbx; Sent Items.dbx; Deleted Items.dbx; and Folders.dbx. But there must be a way to read the GUID from the DBX Hotmail files? DBExtract (http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx) or DBXtend (http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtend/Default.aspx) should be able to extract messages from a Hotmail-specific DBX file. There is a way to import a single Hotmail-specific DBX file into OE (http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/how.htm#importdbx). However, if you import it as a Hotmail-specific folder and the DBX file contains messages that are no longer on the server, those messages will be deleted when OE first syncs with the Hotmail server. -- ~PA Bear Dhruba Bandopadhyay wrote: Sorry, it's just one PC with several partitions.

I formated my drive and now I want to import my mail. Problem is, I didn't save the Identity GUID. Is it possible to recover/read the Identity GUID from a backed up Outlook Express folder? |
